A/N: Ok um… About the last chapter, Luffy's OOC but I placed it there xD Sorrryyy! For those who doesn't know Aniki, It means: - Loosely translating to "older brother" or "big brother". In common Yakuza (Japanese Mafia) slang, "Aniki" is a term used for a Yakuza of older, or senior rank within the family, and is said as a title of respect from a lower ranking family member to a higher.

Last time in Chapter 19...

"If you're looking for a cook, I know just the place. Of course, getting one to join you is another matter altogether…" Johnny says as the others looked at him like he gave them the best gifts ever, except for Luffy, who just grinned.

"A restaurant of the seas!?" They all exclaimed, except Luffy, which made them look weirdly at him for a moment.

"That's right, you should be able to reach it from here 2-3 days. But that place is close to the 'Grand Line' so you gotta be careful. Lotta dangerous guys around those parts." Johnny pauses "Even that 'Hawk-Eyed Man', you've been looking for has been sighted there once before." At those words, Zoro widened his eyes as his body was aching for battle. "If it's alright with you, I'll lead the way!" Johnny says as everyone pumped their fists at the air, but Luffy joined this time.

"ALRIGHT!" Everyone shouted in excitement, but somewhere deep in Luffy's heart… He was still remembering the dark memories, and he wasn't ready for another scene where Zoro almost died.

"Give up, on going to Grand Line." Gin, who was part of Don Krieg's armada, says as he was visibly sweating from the memories.

"Hmm, why?" Luffy says playfully as he looks at Gin, who was still sweating.

"You're still young, no need to recklessly rush into things." Gin says as Luffy and Sanji looks at him with an 'are-you-serious' look.

"Gin, I'm older than you. As in way too older." Luffy says as he looks serious, this time Gin and Sanji looked at him in surprise.

"… How old are you?" Sanji asks after a moment of silence, Luffy decided to keep quiet, Gin decided to continue considering it was beginning to be awkward.

"Anyways, the 'Grand Line' is just one part of all the oceans in this world." Gin pauses "If you want to be a pirate, there's plenty of other seas for you to roam out there." Gin added as he looked at Sanji and Luffy.

"Did something bad happen during your visit at 'Grand Line'?" Luffy asks, he wanted to say something about Gin's words.

"No… I don't know… I don't know anything… That's why it's so terrifying…!" Gin says as he placed his hands on his head as with a terrified face.

"For a member of the Krieg Pirates, you sure are acting like a big scaredy cat." Sanji says straightforwardly as Luffy sighed, he was going to blow everything out to give Gin a piece of mind.

"Just because you don't know anything about 'Grand Line', that doesn't mean you'll be able to predict what calamity it will rise every day. You just lost because you were too weak, that's how the world goes, Gin. If you weren't able to survive in 'Grand Line', then know that you weren't qualified to enter it." Luffy says straightforwardly and more painful than Sanji's words, after that, he left.

Luffy worked in Baratie for two days, and it was already a success. Luffy was able to work without any problems, in fact, the money increased, the customers increased. Luffy was very careful and serious in his work he wasn't even scolded for once, and the customers liked his attitude, he was straightforward, fun to talk with, and Luffy was a very welcoming and warm person, he was already famous. And his Nakama is in wonder if Luffy has some kind of Multiple Personality Disorder or not.

Luffy walks with soulless eyes, he stops in his tracks. "Zoro…" Luffy says quietly as he sees Zoro, he died, but he stood still like a brave swordsman could be. He was the best swordsman, but he died. He died standing like Whitebeard did. "I guess… I'm the only one left" Luffy says as he stares at the floor of Sunny, the rain starts pouring. "No more… I don't want to live anymore…" Luffy says as he cries silently, It was too tiring. It was tiring to be alive, to see your nakama die one after another… It was just too tiring."I want to die…" Luffy says once again as more tears flow, the world was too cruel. "I WANT TO DI-! "

"Luffy, Wake up!" Nami shouts as Luffy suddenly woke up, he was breathing fast and his heart was beating too fast, he was also crying.

"Na… Mi…?" Luffy says quietly, he stares at Nami with surprise. 'Why was I sleeping…?' Luffy asks himself in his thoughts, then he remembered. He facepalmed at the memory.

Flashback

"Why don't you sleep for once, shitty Strawhat?" Sanji asks as Luffy stares at him with a blank face.

"I get nightmares if I do, and it's not good." Luffy says as he stares into the sea, it was just a normal day in Baratie, he worked, then it was done.

"You know, you call tell me about it… If you want to." Sanji says as Luffy looks at him with wide eyes before smiling and goes back at looking at the sea.

"It's all about my Nakama dying one after another, a flashback of my worst nightmares. It's the worst kind I could think of." Luffy says as he remembers some of the nightmares, he places a hand on his heart as he feels it clenching.

"Dying? Oi, shitty strawhat. You're Nakama are still alive..." Sanji says as he goes closer to Luffy, reassuring Luffy that he was there to listen.

"Hmm, sometimes I just think of it, when my Nakama dies… It just hurts painfully…" Luffy says as makes a pained expression. Sanji sighs.

"Sleep, you idiot. You have your Nakama in your side, why are you even thinking about your Nakama dying?" Sanji says, not fully getting Luffy, but Luffy smiled at him, if his Nakama reassures him, he might be able to sleep without nightmares.

PRESENT

'Why did I sleep, why did I sleep, heck, why did I even agreed to it!?' Luffy said as he got cranky, it was a no-no when Luffy sleeps, he gets all cranky and he remembers the time where he slept and got into an argument with his brothers, he didn't like it one bit.

"Luffy-san! Can I order a pasta?" A customer says cheerfully as Luffy unintentionally glares at the customer, the customer flinched and his grin faltered as Luffy went straight to the kitchen, made an pasta and slammed it on the table.

"Sorry, I'm just not in the best mood today." Luffy says as he leaves the table, everyone saw what happened and was quite worried about Luffy.

"What's wrong, Luffy? You seem… Cranky…" Zoro states as Nami and Usopp nodded in agreement, Luffy sighed loudly at him.

"Isn't it obvious? I'm cranky, now here's your rum, enjoy it." Luffy says harshly as he unintentionally glared at them, which made Zoro and the two flinch.

"Geez, what's up with you!? Ever since I woke… You up…?" Nami first said in anger, then she got quiet in the last. 'He slept…?' Nami thought. Usopp, Nami, and Zoro were able to know why Luffy slept. Now they know that Luffy shouldn't sleep.

"Luffy… Did you slept…?" Usopp asks hesitantly considering Luffy was cranky and all.

"Yeah, and it wasn't the best idea." Luffy says quietly then he went back in serving ( and unintentionally glare ) the customers. Suddenly, a glass broke, but for Luffy, it felt like a cacophony. He glared at the man who didn't even looked at him, but he took the glasses and cleaned it.

"IT'S DON KRIEG'S PIRATE SHIP!" Someone shouted as Luffy, once again, felt like it was a cacophony, but he ignored it and started to clean the mess people made.

"A skull with two hourglass at its side, to threaten their enemies…" Someone pauses " THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT IT! THAT'S KRIEG FLAG!" The person shouts in fear, the others followed in as Luffy casually picked up the mess and cleaned the kitchen, because the people were too noisy.

"WHY IS HE HERE!?" Someone shouts. As the others shouted, Luffy prepared food for Krieg, and if Krieg would have fought him… It wouldn't be the best to fight him while he was cranky and all…

OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO

Okay, I guess Luffy and Sanji switched position, Sanji was supposed to be the one giving the food, then now he's the one doing it. "Here." Luffy says with no emotion as the others looks at him in surprise.

"Errand-boy! TAKE THAT FOOD THIS INSTANT! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT KIND OF MAN HE IS!?" Patty shouts while Luffy sighs loudly again, he didn't like someone shouting at him today.

"We're cooks, and it's a cook's duty to help the people who's starving, either with no money or not. " Luffy says, then suddenly, Don Krieg choked Luffy.

"ERRAND-BOY!"

"LUFFY!" The cooks and Luffy's Nakama shouted in surprise and fear as they thought Luffy would be done ( except Zoro ).

Keyword: Attempted

Don Krieg thought Luffy would be gone, but Luffy didn't have an ounce of blood coming out of him, or even a pain in his face. But Don Krieg didn't think about that and made a smug face. "Nice restaurant you've got here." Don Krieg pauses "I'll take it."

A/N: I'm making a cliffhanger! I won't let you guys know how… Luffy would do the do!
